He’s pink, he’s rotund and he sucks! Literally, of course,
for the lovable glob that is Kirby has the ability to take
the powers of objects and foes that he encounters
by inhaling them. Though the motives behind this
title's conceptualisation may be questionable, that’s
not important right now. What is important is that we
have more Kirby platforming action to get down with
on our 3DS, as a giant spaceship has conquered Kirby’s planet, Pop
Star. NOOOOOOOOO! Having slept through the attack that saw King
Dedede and Meta Knight defeated, it’s now up to Kirby to suit up and
vanquish these uncouth invaders.

Move over Jim Carrey, for young wannabe pirate king
Monkey D Luffy not only has the rubbery face thing
down, he’s nailed the whole elastic body thing! That’ll
happen if you eat a devil fruit. Yes, our stretchy seafarer
returns with his Straw Hat crew and more enemies than
you could shake a cutlass at, in a more traditional arena
brawler than last year’s wonderfully nuts collision with
Omega Force’s Warriors series,
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3
. As such,
there are more unique abilities to let loose, and with 40 or so potential
combatants, that’s a lot of action. Featuring the fab cel-shaded style of
the anime series, this looks quite ARRRRRRRR-mazing!

A long time ago, in a galaxy fa- erm, not that far way,
actually, we last played a LEGO Star Wars game. That
was five years ago now, so excitement is palpable for
this blocky remix of the smash seventh main canon
Star Wars flick. As we’ve come to expect from LEGO
games, the movie’s main story is adhered to while
adding witty dialogue touches that are respectful and
fun. This one takes it all a step further, though, by shoehorning in all-
new adventures that sit between
Return of the Jedi
and
The Force
Awakens
, telling us more about characters new and old. We’ve got a
good feeling about this...

When Star Trek hit us up with the classic line,
“Space, the final frontier” they didn’t know the
half of it. In fact if
No Man’s Sky
is anything to go
by, they didn’t even know the umpteenth of it!
It’s a truly epic space trading, combat, exploration
and discovery trip with the aim of reaching the
centre of the universe. Sound easy? Well, there are
18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets out there awaiting you. You’ll
need a spare 585 billion years to visit each one – just for a second.
When we say “truly epic” we mean it, man! It’s
Elite
for a new
century, and enough to keep you busy, well, for life.
